multifuel

Burns various sources

Multifuel describes engines, stoves, or heating systems designed to run on more than one type of fuel.

A multifuel engine might accept gasoline, diesel, or kerosene; a multifuel stove burns wood, coal, or pellets.

The flexibility is practical where fuel availability is uncertain: The military uses multifuel vehicles that can run on whatever's available.
